Vitality score
Vitality score 62.8/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: low (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette); sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 84 % of the 3,216 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
